Hardness Control is a white dry powder Phosphate Boiler Water Treatment product used for the reduction of hardness in boilers. Hardness Control is highly soluble in water and It will precipitate calcium hardness as a non-adherent sludge.
Hardness Control is formulated to form a precipitate with calcium ions which will not adhere to metal surfaces but are in a form suitable for blowdown.
Used for boilers and water softening.
For optimum results dose Hardness Control direct to the boiler via the bypass pot-feeder. The dry powder should be dissolved in hot water (50°C) at a ratio of 1 part powder to twenty parts condensate (e.g. 500 grams/10 litres). Ensure that treatment is fully dissolved before dosing.
This treatment dosed at 1.49 grams per ton of distilled water provides 1.0 ppm phosphate.
Feed Points: Dose with other BOILER CHEMICAL / alkaline liquid by diluting withcondensate and feed directly into the system drum (below the water level) using a bypass pot feeder. For low-pressure boilers, It may be dosed to the hotwell or condensate return tank, although this is not the preferred method.
